Thread: Gps

I highly recommend a mountable GPS/FF. The larger screen is way easier on older eyes than the handhelds.

I've been a little reluctant adopting new stuff, thinking it was a gimmick when color units came out, but now I can't imagine fishing without a GPS or a color depthfinder. Shut off the OB, drop the TM and pull right on top of a brushpile 500 yards from shore without hunting for it.

I have 2 chart plotters on my boat but if you are just wanting to mark brush piles--all you need is a hand held [not something high priced---I have a garmin map 76 several years old that will get me just as close as any of the bigger stuff

X2 yep frank is right - a hand held garmin $100.oo or so will be as accurate as a biggie buck FF and the hand Garmin will actually respond faster in making corrections & updates, I would use the rest of $$$ to get biggest FF screen to help old eyes.
